“…formed on data from 2007-2009 using the same methodology. There was an increase in the incidence of retinal detachment from 12 to 16 (or even 17 after correction for the pandemic lockdown) per 100,000 person years [11].…”

Ausgehend vom subjektiven Eindruck vieler vitreoretinaler Chirurgen und der Beobachtung stark steigender Zahlen von Patienten mit Netzhautablösungen an einzelnen Zentren in den letzten Jahren, wurde die jüngere Literatur zu Veränderungen der Inzidenz der Netzhautablösungen weltweit gesichtet. Dabei zeigten sich ganz erhebliche methodische Unterschiede der Studien, die einen Vergleich und klare Schlussfolgerungen zur Entwicklung der Häufigkeit von Netzhautablösungen erschweren. Trotz dieser Einschränkungen sprechen alle Daten aus aktuellen Untersuchungen für eine Zunahme der Zahl der Netzhautablösungen. Die Ablatio-Inzidenz in der westlichen Welt scheint derzeit bei über 20 Fällen pro 100.000 Personenjahren zu liegen, somit deutlich höher als in früheren Jahrzehnten beschrieben. Ursächlich kann vermutet werden, dass ein Anstieg der Prävalenz der Myopie, eine demographische Zunahme der Patienten im typischen Ablatio-Alter und eine steigende Zahl an Katarakt-Operationen, insbesondere bei jüngeren Patienten, für die steigende Inzidenz der Ablatio verantwortlich sind. Based on the subjective impression of many vitreoretinal surgeons and the observation of strongly increasing numbers of patients with retinal detachments at individual centres in recent years, the literature on changes in the incidence of retinal detachments worldwide was reviewed. This revealed quite significant methodological differences among the studies, making comparison and clear conclusions on the development of the incidence of retinal detachments difficult. Despite these limitations, all data from recent studies suggest an increase in the number of retinal detachments. The incidence of retinal detachment in the western world currently seems to be above 20 cases per 100,000 person-years, which is significantly higher than described in earlier decades. It can be assumed that an increase in the number of individuals with myopia, a demographic increase in patients of typical retinal detachment age and an increasing number of cataract surgeries, especially in younger patients, are responsible for the rising incidence of retinal detachment.

Detachment of the posterior membranes of the eye may occur following trauma or surgery, can result from certain disease processes or just be attributed to the aging process. Irrespective of the cause, all can contribute to visual disturbance. Failure to diagnose and treat such conditions can have permanent effects on a patient's vision if not addressed in a timely manner. Ultrasound proves to be a useful tool to aid in the diagnosis of posterior wall detachments when the operator has a thorough knowledge of ocular structure and function, anatomical landmarks and the common sonographic appearances that differentiate the type of membrane involved in the disease process. Although ocular ultrasound has historically been performed in the emergency or ophthalmology settings, the incidence of ocular ultrasound being undertaken in radiology departments is increasing. Multiple recent studies have observed an increase in the incidence of retinal detachment, the main causative factors being linked to a higher prevalence of myopia and cataract surgeries. The purpose of this article therefore is to provide a comprehensive guide to the anatomical structure of the posterior orbital segment, including surface anatomy and attachment points, and how this can facilitate the correct identification of the different types of posterior membranous detachment based on common sonographic appearances. As such, operators skilled in performing ultrasound of the eye can play a pivotal role in ensuring an appropriate management pathway is achieved by way of accurate interpretation of pathological ultrasound images.
